What makes Chicago Food Walks with Rebecca Wheeler special?

Rebecca Wheeler offers Chicago visitors and locals an unforgettable experience that’s off the typical tourist path. You won’t go to any deep-dish pizza places or hot dog joints that you can find on your own. Instead, we go deep into the neighborhoods that are the heart and soul of the immigrant diversity Chicago is famous for. Each food tour is private for your group of 1-10 guests. No tour guide scripts, megaphones or name tags here. Chicago Food Walks are perfect for entertaining out-of-town guests or just spending time with friends and family.

Rebecca Wheeler is a cooking instructor and world traveler who serves as a cultural ambassador for Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods. Each tour features plenty of carefully selected tastings along with authentic insights into the history and cultural significance of the cuisine, backed by her own culinary travels and studies in these countries. The result is a fun, personal and mouth-watering learning experience that will last beyond the tour into your own kitchen and future dining experiences.
